I
rushed
downstairs
,
but
the
hall
door
was
open
,
and
I
heard
the
voices
of
my
companions
,
loud
in
astonishment
and
congratulation
,
in
the
yard
.
How
we
all
shook
hands
and
laughed
as
we
came
together
,
and
how
Mrs
.
Challenger
kissed
us
all
in
her
emotion
,
before
she
finally
threw
herself
into
the
bear
-
hug
of
her
husband
.
"
But
they
could
not
have
been
asleep
!
"
cried
Lord
John
.
"
Dash
it
all
,
Challenger
,
you
don
’
t
mean
to
believe
that
those
folk
were
asleep
with
their
staring
eyes
and
stiff
limbs
and
that
awful
death
grin
on
their
faces
!
"
"
It
can
only
have
been
the
condition
that
is
called
catalepsy
,
"
said
Challenger
.
"
It
has
been
a
rare
phenomenon
in
the
past
and
has
constantly
been
mistaken
for
death
.
While
it
endures
,
the
temperature
falls
,
the
respiration
disappears
,
the
heartbeat
is
indistinguishable
—
in
fact
,
it
is
death
,
save
that
it
is
evanescent
.
Even
the
most
comprehensive
mind
"
—
here
he
closed
his
eyes
and
simpered
—
"
could
hardly
conceive
a
universal
outbreak
of
it
in
this
fashion
.
"
"
You
may
label
it
catalepsy
,
"
remarked
Summerlee
,
"
but
,
after
all
,
that
is
only
a
name
,
and
we
know
as
little
of
the
result
as
we
do
of
the
poison
which
has
caused
it
.
The
most
we
can
say
is
that
the
vitiated
ether
has
produced
a
temporary
death
.
"
Austin
was
seated
all
in
a
heap
on
the
step
of
the
car
.
It
was
his
coughing
which
I
had
heard
from
above
.
He
had
been
holding
his
head
in
silence
,
but
now
he
was
muttering
to
himself
and
running
his
eyes
over
the
car
.
"
Young
fat
-
head
!
"
he
grumbled
.
"
Can
’
t
leave
things
alone
!
"
"
What
’
s
the
matter
,
Austin
?
"
"
Lubricators
left
running
,
sir
.
Someone
has
been
fooling
with
the
car
.
I
expect
it
’
s
that
young
garden
boy
,
sir
.
"
Lord
John
looked
guilty
.
